    I am making my 55 into an SPS tank with cool palys/zoas here and there, so a mixed tank dominated by SPS. I got all the equipment I need to do that job, but was thinking of adding a coralife 65 in the supm... just enough room. Right now I have a reef octopus BH-100-f and today i emptied the cup and it was literally the color and consistancy of pepsi. It was crazy dark I've never had anything pulled out of a tan so loaded with excess nutrients. I dont know that I need it in there but what do the SPS farmers out there think?

    Its just with the return and my dual reactor in a ten gallon its cramped to float bags down there. And now I have my super tech drip line I dont want to float bags in my DT. I just need to be convinced and hopefully it wont be brown acros that prove you right ;-)
